October Working Bee: Our next working bee falls on the October public holiday, so we are postponing the bee to the following week, Monday 14th October, 9.30-12.30pm. There is plenty to do this working bee to help our new plantings get the best start in life and to reduce the weedy spring growth. Here are the details: When: […]

It's almost time for our December working bee and our Christmas morning tea. And what a year it's been! We have completed our three-year project, funded by the NSW Government through their environmental trust. We have launched our website (though somewhat still in development - but we've already had a couple of enquiries through it). […]
It's time to gear up for our 2025 working bee program. Last year, we made significant strides in enhancing the Bega River's habitat and biodiversity, reducing invasive weed cover, and creating resilient riverbanks to withstand increased erosion pressures from extreme natural events under a changing climate. If you want to learn more about BRAWL's work, […]

With last week’s generous rainfall, the Bega River reached a low flood level—just enough to cause some bank erosion in places, but thankfully not enough to damage our plantings. Phew! The upside? The soil profile is now moist and the groundwater nicely recharged, creating ideal conditions for our plantings to thrive through the winter. We […]
Weather permitting (I am watching this easterly low coming in...) we will be going back to the southern side of Spenco Lagoon, meeting at the northern end of Gipps St at 9.30 am. Because of the work we have done, this area is looking good -quite the place for a relaxed morning tea looking over […]
We’re heading back to Site 5 for our next Landcare working bee, and we’d love your help! Thanks to recent efforts, we’ve made great progress in this area—but some persistent weeds are making a comeback. This session, we’ll be targeting boxthorn, cape ivy, madeira vine, turkey rhubarb, moth vine and privets. Because of the momentum […]
For this bee we’ll be heading back to Site 2 (the old bamboo site) to care for our December 2023 plantings and prepare the area for next month’s tree planting. We’ll also be tackling weed control—targeting turkey rhubarb, privet, hemlock, and some madeira vine that’s recently been spotted on the site. This site has come […]
